TOI-1443 b

TOI-1443 b is a confirmed sub-Neptune exoplanet 280 ly from Earth in the constellation Draco, discovered in 2024 by Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS).

Transit: spotted by the tiny, repeating dip in its star’s light each time the planet crosses in front of it (what that means).

Its yellow, Sun-like star looks 5.1× wider than ours, bathing the surface in warm white light. It is likely tidally locked, so that sun never moves in the sky: one hemisphere in endless day, the other in permanent night. A year passes in just 24 days, and at an estimated 248°C (478°F) it is blistering.

Catalog values (NASA Exoplanet Archive): mass 30.00 M⊕, radius 2.30 R⊕. Its catalog mass and radius imply a density of 13.5 g/cm³, denser than compressed iron, so they cannot both be right, and gravityfinder does not use TOI-1443 b in gravity rankings or weight calculations.

Your voice would sound high and thin, almost cartoonish.

Assuming Earth-like air at this world's temperature of about 248°C (478°F), sound would travel roughly 34% faster than on Earth, so your voice would sound high and thin, almost cartoonish. The real atmosphere is unknown, so this is a best guess.

Cosmic travel advisory
★★★☆☆
For seasoned travelers
  • !Blistering at about 248°C (478°F), far too hot for liquid water on the surface.
  • !Likely tidally locked: one hemisphere in endless day, the other in permanent night.
